I need help with a webserver project...



  • Hi you all!
    I'm trying to setup my first project based on M5Stack but I dont' understand how to do it...
    I have an Arduino board sending one GET request per minute to a LAN address with some data passed as parameters and I would like to display those data on my M5.
    The string is something like this:
    http:\192.168.1.221?r=1&da=20181101&ti=1830&v1=12345&v2=12345&v3=12345&v4=12345
    and what I want to do is to decode data (da), time (ti) and v1, v2, v3, v4 as my data to display.
    So every time I got a new request I update the display with my new data.
    Could some of you help me doing this?
    I was thinking to start from an example but the one in Arduino IDE - M5Stack\Advanced\WiFiSetting is too difficult for me to understand...



  • How about starting from the example that is at File / Examples / WebServer / HelloServer (Where WebServer is under the "Examples for M5Stack(-Fire)" heading). That is pretty simple, and then work your way up from there?



  • @rop Thank you, I'll try starting from that one, than. :)



  • @rop
    I tried to use that one but I'm not successful with it... If I send my request manually through my web browser I got my data, but if I try to read from my Arduino board I can see nothing at all.
    The strange thing is that I set up two Arduino (one send requests and the other one display data from request) boards and they work.
    The code for the sender Arduino that I'm using is this:

    [...]
            // Try to send for 5 times
            for(byte r = 1; r <= 5; r++)
              {
              remDisplayRetry = r;
              int res = remDisplay.connect(Display_IP, DISPLAY_PORT);
              if(res == 1) // connection successfull
                {
                remDisplay << F("GET /");
                #if defined(USE_DEBUG)
                  Serial << F("GET /");
                #endif
                sprintf(webData, "?r=1&da=%04d%02d%02d", year(),month(),day());
                remDisplay << webData;
                #if defined(USE_DEBUG)
                  Serial << webData;
                #endif
                sprintf(webData, "&ti=%02d%02d", hour(),minute());
                remDisplay << webData;
                #if defined(USE_DEBUG)
                  Serial << webData;
                #endif
                for(byte i = 0; i < 4; i++)
                  {
                  if(b[i])  // only send data if present
                    {
                    remDisplay << "&v" << i+1 << "=" << v[i];
                    #if defined(USE_DEBUG)
                      Serial << "&v" << i+1 << "=" << v[i];
                    #endif
                    }
                  }
                remDisplay << F(" HTTP/1.1") << endl;                      //TEST
                remDisplay << F("Host: PVControl") << endl << endl;        //TEST
                remDisplay << endl << endl;                                  //TEST
                #if defined(USE_DEBUG)
                  Serial << endl << endl;                                  //TEST
                #endif
                // give remDisplay some time to process the request
                delay(500);
    
                // skip the first part of the reply, which is "HTTP/1.1 "
                remDisplay.readBytes(webData, 9);
                // read the response code. 200 means ok. 0 means that there is no response yet
                byte lastResponse = remDisplay.parseInt();
                if(lastResponse == 0)
                {
                  sprintf(remDisplayResponse,"Response timeout\0");
                  remDisplayResponseTime = now();
                }
                else if(lastResponse != 200)
                { 
                  sprintf(remDisplayResponse, "%03d",lastResponse);
                  size_t numchars = remDisplay.readBytes(remDisplayResponse + 3, 75); 
                  remDisplayResponse[numchars + 3] = '\0'; // terminate the string
                  remDisplayResponseTime = now();
                }
                else if(lastResponse == 200)
                { 
                  remDisplay.stop();
                  break; // No need to retry remDisplay connection
                }
    
                }
              else // cannot connect
                {
                sprintf(remDisplayResponse,"No connection");
                remDisplayResponseTime = now();
                remDisplayRetry_Err = remDisplayRetry;
                }
              }
            }
    [...]
    

    Do you see something wrong here?

    The code I use on my M5Stack is this:

    [...]
    WebServer rDserver(1980);
    void setup() {
      rDserver.on("/", handleRoot);
      rDserver.onNotFound(handleNotFound);
      rDserver.begin();
    }
    
    void handleRoot() {
      rDserver.send(200, "text/plain", " OK");
    
      Serial.println(rDserver.uri());
      for (uint8_t i = 0; i < rDserver.args(); i++) {
        Serial.print(" ");
        Serial.print(rDserver.argName(i));
        Serial.print(": ");
        Serial.println(rDserver.arg(i));
      }
    
      if(rDserver.args() == 7) {
          if((rDserver.argName(0) != "r") || (rDserver.argName(1) != "da")
            || (rDserver.argName(2) != "ti") || (rDserver.argName(3) != "v1")
              || (rDserver.argName(4) != "v2") || (rDserver.argName(5) != "v3")
                || (rDserver.argName(6) != "v4")) {
            return;
          }
          else {
            remYear = atoi(rDserver.arg(1).substring(0,3).c_str());
            remMonth = atoi(rDserver.arg(1).substring(4,5).c_str());
            remDay = atoi(rDserver.arg(1).substring(6,7).c_str());
            remHour = atoi(rDserver.arg(2).substring(0,1).c_str());

            NetP = GenP - UseP;    // Last Net Power
          }
      }
    }
    [...]
    


  • I let it run for a while and I found it works, sometimes... But I can see some error on serial monitor and I'm not sure what they refer to.

  • @crazyhorse80 Those error codes are from the ESP32 core, you can turn them off in the Arduino IDE by setting Tools/Core Debug Level to none. And if you find setDebug (INFO) and change it to setDebug(NONE) ezTime will no longer report about time events either.



  • Thank you for your reply, but I don't need to just turn off error displaying... I think there's actually some error, 'cause I cannot show an update every minute as I would like to... I cannot tell where the error is but I know there's something wrong...



  • If you edit the messages with logs or code in them, and put three backticks (~ without the shift on US keyboards) on an otherwise empty line before and after the code and possibly fix the tabs then I will take a look at it.



  • @rop Thank you again... I was asking myself how to do that as I've seen it in other threads...

    In addition to the above, I've seen one more error when I let the program run for a while: the ntp query fails and sometimes the M5Stack reset itself.

  • Ah, a backtrace. You can copy paste that whole boot thing into the "ESP Exception Decoder" which you first have to install into the IDE. (Can't do it for you, it needs the compiled binary to work.) This will tell you what chain of routines (both in your own code and in the ESP core) were executing before it crashed. I'll look at your code later...



  • Here it is (totally nonsense for me, remember I'm a noob with ESP):

    I think I'm not understanding how ESP32 works and so it's a lot of pain to write some code for me... I can work with Arduinos which use procedural code, but I'm guessing ESP32 is a totally different thing. Could it be that it has a small operating system that runs in parallel of my own code and I have to write only event driven functions? I need an ESP for dummy book for sure, do you know something easy to start from?



  • OK, I'm afraid I don't know your code well enough to be of much help, but here's some things I do know or think I know:

     

    Most errors look harmless (or at least unconnected to your isssue) to me.

     

    11:23:11.850 -> [E][Preferences.cpp:437] getString(): nvs_get_str len fail: SSID2 NOT_FOUND
    11:23:11.850 -> [E][Preferences.cpp:437] getString(): nvs_get_str len fail: key2 NOT_FOUND
    11:23:11.850 -> [E][Preferences.cpp:306] getUChar(): nvs_get_u8 fail: faces_on NOT_FOUND
    

    Totally expected behaviour and in no way connected to your problem: M5ez is looking for stuff in NVS when it starts up, some it finds, some it doesn't.

     

    Querying pool.ntp.org ... [E][WiFiUdp.cpp:170] beginPacket(): could not get host from dns: 11
    21:00:32.992 -> ERROR: Timeout
    

    If this was sometime after startup, it might point to the M5Stack having intermittent network connectivity.

     

    I wonder what the other Arduino's view of the world is: does it think it can deliver the message when you don't get it displayed on the M5Stack?

     

    As for the stack trace: it's a pity it doesn't go back into your code, that would have been more helpful. As it is if I had to wildly guess: does your code do anything that involves a timer? The problem seems to start by time_alarm_isr (the interrupt service routine) being called and then sometime later something being (possibly) unable to acquire a lock on some resource, possibly while writing a log entry. But I don't know the ESP core well myself either... I would recommend setting Core Debug Level to "None", it would not surprise me if that stops these crashes. (And who knows: maybe the core and your program fighting over the serial buffer was the whole problem to begin with...)



  • The only thing I did related to a timer, is using the ez.addevent to call the handleclient function as you suggested in the other thread (actually I enclosed it in a function that returns the interval as you said to do). My program does not a lot other than running m5ez and the simple web server to collect data from the Arduino to display on m5stack... I don't know if I can post the entire code but I can try to...

    The timeout errors happen after few minutes from startup, but the connection seems to be good 'cause I can see the widget with 2 or 3 bars all the time.
    As for what the Arduino does, it sends a request to M5Stack every minute and it tries to send for 5 times if it didn't receive 200 OK response from server. It does that and the error I get on Arduino's side is "no connection", instead on M5Stack I can see nothing arriving (from serial monitor). Every now and then I receive some data but it's not a constant flow.
    Tomorrow I'll do some more tries without core debug...

  • @crazyhorse80 I don't see anything that's obviously wrong with it. In serveClients() I would set the return value at 50 instead of 500.Usually there will be nothing to do so it will return quickly. But if there is something to do, half a second is a bit of a long time which adds to other possible timeouts elsewhere and maybe screws things up. That and turning off the errors would be my only two pieces of advice, really. If that doesn't help I don't know...



  • @rop I've just tried what you said but with no luck at all (it seems to be worst than before)... It must be something related to M5Stack, 'cause if I set another Arduino with the IP of M5Stack it gets a request every minute and it works as intended to. I'l try to setup a program without M5ez and see if it works that way, maybe there's something wrong with interactions between it and the webserver part...
    Thank you for all your help!



  • @rop I found where the error was! I was streaming my GET request string to the client with multiple prints and while it is OK for connecting to a web site I send data to and to my MySQL database, it was not OK for the M5Stack.
    I set up a buffer string, printed all my data in it and then use it to send data to my client object and now it work flawless! I got my stream of data sent every minute!





  • Could you please help me with this backtrace I got few moments ago?

  • @crazyhorse80 Looks like it somehow crashed while M5ez was printing the on-screen clock, but no clue why. Try turning off the on-screen clock... Shouldn't do this no matter what though.
